Charlie XCX - Music Fashion Film
I listened to this the day it dropped, bought a copy two days later and then watched her preform this for Lollapalooza (via streaming obviously) and then went down a massive Charlie rabbit hole. I could listen to Charlie talk about art and film and what inspires her for hours - I recommend the fashion neurosis podcast.
This album has so many themes: Insecurities, Friendship, Existential- don't over think, the urgent need to create because life is finite etc etc.
Charlie is a true artist. I don't think she gets enough credit for that.
What I don't like is the rush for artists to get their albums pressed. I discovered this version is different to the streaming version as it has a locked groove instead of the David Cronenberg feature at the end which I learned was added late in the mixing, but the final vinyl master had already been sent for pressing. Bummer.
